College of Dreams

Bards of the College of Dreams focus on exploring the world of dreams and the endless possibilities that lie within it. These bards focus on imposing disadvantages, gathering information and fooling those around them. As they master their craft these bards can make their music seem like white noise, no one truly notices it but is still affected by it. With their mastery of dreams, these bards can alter them as they like and with enough training, they can even do the same to memories. While most of the bards of the Colege of Dreams tend to pursue the understanding of dreams, some of them pursue knowledge related to the mind gaining the ability to manipulate and control others that hear their songs. The colleges where these bards train are often regarded as nothing more than a flashy den of thieves. Most bards from this college are regarded as being thieves, spies or con artists.
